Visit of Arashiyama

Today we went to Arashiyama a small city near Kyoto.
There you have some temple to visit
Of course some paces to eat and I had my first Kakigori strawberry this year, so delicious
Guess which one this is...
But the highlight of this place is the bamboo forest

Inside some nice temples
and the forest again, so nice and cool
You can just walk around and relax
Then after we went near the river not for a boat trip but for a lunch
Everybody has different priority!
Iced noodles ( not for me)
And for me udon with tempura!!!
Youpi, love it!
And on the way to the next highlight my mom and I were interviewed for a local newspaper, what a success!!!
After we went to the monkey mountain.
We climb 200 meters about and then they were there.
You can enter inside and feed them
or just stay outside to watch them freely.
Or enjoy the view of Kyoto, 200 meters I remember you!!!!
These monkeys are wild, living in the mountain and very curious
They play it cool
or tired (what a life)
or just thinking about the future :-)
After that we went went to a great onsen, but here sorry no pictures!
On the way back there was some decoration at a train station, so nice
These are actually tissue from kimono highlighted
The effect is amazing!
